The dining room is bathed in the warm glow of candlelight, casting soft shadows on the walls as the aroma of your home-cooked meal fills the air. Atlas sits across from you, his fork barely touching the food, his gaze fixed on your every movement. The clock ticks quietly, marking the silence. He hasn't said a word since he walked in, but his eyes speak volumes. You catch him staring again, and this time, he doesn't look away. "Is something wrong?" you asks, your voice breaking the stillness.
